I will be doing a section at a time ie:roof then doors then boot etc.</p> <p>What do i put on the bare metal as soon as i have finished that section, i was hoping to leave it in primer till the bodywork is done and i am ready to paint it. I am not sure if i will paint it in Acrylic or 2 pac yet.</p> <p>Regards,<br /> Mort </p> http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/2020#post-2807 Sun, 28 Feb 2010 01:34:03 +0000 twum_au 2807@http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ <p>Hi,<br /> I am trying to treat a rust problem in the rear cargo area of my Mazda van.<br /> The rust affects about 10% of the floor area.<br /> I had the whole floor plastic bead blasted which got rid of all remaining paint, the bulk of the rust and enlarged the few holes that I discovered. There are dozens of small pinholes and a few holes 50mm in diameter or smaller.<br /> The blasting guy told me to paint the whole floor with rust converter, let it cure (2 days) then power wire wheel the whole floor which I did.<br /> I am taking the van to a panel shop next to get the holes welded closed/patched (no filler will be used).<br /> I read your directions and I think I need to use Rustblast then Rustseal Galvanised steel with maybe a little Numetal putty for smoothing the patched areas.<br /> Is this all I need to do? </p> http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/2015#post-2796 Sat, 13 Feb 2010 20:34:00 +0000 ute 2796@http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ <p>I have a motorbike petrol tank (steel, not very old and in good condition) I would like to strip back to bare metal and coat with a clear finish that will be a rust preventative and maintain that bare metal look. What do you suggest I use? </p> http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/2014#post-2789 Sun, 07 Feb 2010 21:25:22 +0000 royluck 2789@http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ <p>Hi, have you got anything to treat the outside of the tank, small areas on top of the tank have bubbled.<br /> Thanks. </p> http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/2001#post-2755 Wed, 02 Dec 2009 06:40:00 +0000 Paulsul 2755@http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ <p>Have modified a sump to fit 186 boat motor and was going to use gold standard fuel tank sealer to cover welds.

I'm making an off road trailer but don't want a black finish, like Blacktop.<br /> Can i use just Rust Seal followed by DiamonSeal?<br /> Cheers </p> http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/1961#post-2633 Sun, 31 May 2009 21:48:32 +0000 Glennb 2633@http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ <p>Can you tell me the amount of Aquaklean, Rustblast and Gold sealer I would need for this size tank. Also exterior coating recommendations. This is a baffled tank and has corrosion on the outside to go along with a pin hole in one corner. I plan to tig weld the corner after cleaning. Do you see any problems with this? Just don't want to blow myself up after cleaning. </p> http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/1972#post-2670 Fri, 26 Jun 2009 11:58:29 +0000 nadephil 2670@http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ <p>My refrigerator is filled with rust spots on the inside of the door where the plastic seal goes around. The seal is also filled with rust. Will rustseal be able to cover the rust or just coat it so no more rust will emerge? </p> http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/1971#post-2664 Fri, 26 Jun 2009 08:28:40 +0000 mallorybl 2664@http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ <p>I intend to cover the underside of my newly installed galvanized floorboards w/ Herculiner. The rest of the undercarriage will be coated w/ KBS rust seal then the herculiner. Should I use the rust seal over the floorboards as well? I intend to sandblast the rest of the undercarriage. Should I do the same to "etch" the galvanized steel? Or, how would I get the best results? </p> http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/1970#post-2662 Fri, 26 Jun 2009 08:19:58 +0000 txnorman 2662@http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ <p>i have a new boat trailer and am interested in making sure it does not rust. what would you recommend? </p> http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/1969#post-2658 Mon, 22 Jun 2009 00:00:18 +0000 motoxray 2658@http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ <p>I have a 1952 FX Holden I am restoring. I am replacing the outer sill panels as they are moderately rusted, with some small holes. I planned on coating the inner sill surfaces with rust seal. </p> <p>My question is, do you have any thought/suggestions re coating the welded inner portions of the panels? </p> <p>I had thought of using a spray nozzle &#38; accessing the inside of the sill through some holes drilled through the inner sill panel, much in the manner of rust proofing practice. These holes would them be sealed with rubber plugs. While this is not necessarily a 'perfect' solution, it's the best I can think of at present.<br /> Any ideas would be appreciated.<br /> Ray </p> http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/1967#post-2651 Mon, 15 Jun 2009 04:55:14 +0000 47merc 2651@http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ <p>I have a vintage car engine with an aluminium crankcase and sump and I have had these pressure cleaned to as new condition.

I followed the instructions to a "T".This afternoon when I put the GOld Seal in the tank,I rolled it around for about 15 minutes per the instructions.When I tried to drain the sealer I found that it was already setting up.I kept rolling and draining excess paint as best I could for about 45 minutes.When I finally finished it looked very good inside.Nice and smooth and no puddles that I could see.<br /> When I checked the tank again after about 4 hours,the paint inside was bubbled and blisterd extremly bad.Now obviously I must do the extra work,cost and effort to strip the tank and start over.For this time and effort,I wish I'd just bought a new tank for $140.<br /> I live in Southern Calif, I did the work in about 78 deg temp and almost no humidity, it was a perfect weekend.<br /> Can you PLEASE tell me what I did wrong?<br /> I feel discouraged and "gun-shy" now and thinking I'll just spend the money on new tanks and forget using a sealer.<br /> I feel sick to think I must spend another $60 on a tank kit+buying stripper and the time end effort to do all of this work over again.<br /> I had high hopes for KBS, can you tell me what I did wrong so I can continue and get a good seal without blisters and bubbles? </p> http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/1957#post-2608 Sun, 17 May 2009 10:11:58 +0000 Pat 2608@http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ <p>Hi</p> <p>I tried KBS Rust seal (Satin black) for the first time today, with mixed results. I had some sandblasted car parts (disassembled wind screen wipers and some larger pieces), but because I'd handled them a bit, I decided to test the AquaKlean and RustBlast.</p> <p>The first RustSeal coat went on nicely. All the brush marks smoothed right out, and I got a nice even finish. The parts were pretty fiddly to paint, so the jar I had transfered my stirred paint into was open for quite a while (maybe an hour). There wasnt too much left in the jar, so for the second coat, I used FRESH paint from my cling-wrap sealed tin (opened only while stirring &#38; pouring).</p> <p>I waited 3-4 hours before applying the second coat. To avoid spilling paint, I tried transferring the paint to a brand new jar using a clean 20mL disposable syringe. </p> <p>The second coat did not work as well. The paint seemed not to stay evenly spread over the first coat. Even the paint on the walls of the jar (never before used) seemed to thin out to nothing in some spots, leaving small paint free circles behind. There were a few bubbles appearing while I was applying the paint too. This was essentially fresh paint. I have let this coat cure, but it doesnt have a nice surface like the first coat did. Its pretty streaky, as it didnt level out, and in parts doesnt completely cover the first coat.</p> <p>I did first reuse the original brush, which I had given a quick clean with #1 thinner (it was dry and still soft). I thought this might have caused the problem, but I found a new brush, and got the same result. After starting I never handled the parts without gloves so I dont believe it was surface contamination.</p> <p>Had it gone as planned, I would have applied KBS fusion within 6 hours and later put another UV resistant top coat over it. </p> <p>I've watched the videos, and followed the instructions carefully, but I have quite a bit of this paint now, so want to make absolutely sure I use it properly! </p> <p>So to my Q's....<br /> * Any idea what might have caused the problem?</p> <p>* To get a smooth final finish (before priming, top coating etc.), should I sand (400 grit?) and apply another coat of RustSeal?</p> <p>More generally...<br /> * Can subsequent coats still be applied sucessfully over fully cured RustSeal? I felt a bit pressured to apply a full second coat even though I wasnt confident that is was going on properly.</p> <p>* Providing its not too humid and the second coat is applied within a few hours, can you use the same paint you originally poured out? Even if the lid's been off for a while? I cling-wrapped the remainder when first done, but eventually decided to use fresh paint for the second coat.</p> <p>* Should a new brush be used for the second coat, even if the first was cleaned with the KBS thinners?</p> <p>Regards,</p> <p>Pat </p> http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/1956#post-2605 Mon, 11 May 2009 11:47:07 +0000 aw_kc 2605@http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ <p>i have several snow plows. i always have issues with rust, and i wanted to coat the blades of the plows in a KBS coating. i was wondering what would be the best KBS products to use.<br /> thanks </p> http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/249#post- Wed, 17 Mar 2010 14:46:37 +0000 Anonymous @http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/249#post- Wed, 17 Mar 2010 14:46:37 +0000 Anonymous @http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/249#post- Wed, 17 Mar 2010 14:46:37 +0000 Anonymous @http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/249#post- Wed, 17 Mar 2010 14:46:37 +0000 Anonymous @http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/249#post- Wed, 17 Mar 2010 14:46:37 +0000 Anonymous @http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/249#post- Wed, 17 Mar 2010 14:46:37 +0000 Anonymous @http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/249#post- Wed, 17 Mar 2010 14:46:37 +0000 Anonymous @http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/249#post- Wed, 17 Mar 2010 14:46:37 +0000 Anonymous @http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/249#post- Wed, 17 Mar 2010 14:46:37 +0000 Anonymous @http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/249#post- Wed, 17 Mar 2010 14:46:37 +0000 Anonymous @http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/249#post- Wed, 17 Mar 2010 14:46:37 +0000 Anonymous @http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/249#post- Wed, 17 Mar 2010 14:46:37 +0000 Anonymous @http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/249#post- Wed, 17 Mar 2010 14:46:37 +0000 Anonymous @http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/249#post- Wed, 17 Mar 2010 14:46:37 +0000 Anonymous @http://support.kbs-coatings.com/
